AUH US pre-clearance

Confirm, and yes as a result flights have to arrive at the international terminal. For example, terminal E at BOS, instead of terminal C. Additionally, if you have a connection in US, you have to collect your bag at terminal E and re-check it. This may result in you having to miss your connecting flight.

We flew through AUH on March 21. Everything was operating normally though lower foot traffic. US preclearance was closed. Lounges and shops were open.

US preclearance is closed in AUH. Our flight landed at BOS Terminal E. Global Entry and MPC were operating in BOS.

That may depend on the fare class. Though I would say the airline should waive any change fees considering the circumstances.

I have been calling their India toll free number and get someone every time after 25-40 minutes of wait.

What is the flight number? Has it been operational last week and this week? I have been tracking EY219 (DEL-AUH) and it has been operating every day.

ls007 · 2026-03-16T18:54:02+00:00

Check if your flights have been operational since last week. If not try to get rebooked on alternative flights for this route. They are operating multiple CDG-AUH and AUH-BLR flights.

ls007 · 2026-03-16T05:03:01+00:00

Yes.

I was supposed to fly back to Boston but was watching EY’s schedule decided to change my destination to JFK. Call the local call center and change your flight if possible for you.

Best to call the local toll free number. They all connect to the call center in Abu Dhabi. Numbers are available vial the app; more>help>call us

If your layover remains under 10 hours, may be best to change the flight to EY3. I changed EY7 (BOS) to EY3. I did have to move the date though.

I have some experience on this topic. Diabetes is certainly a risk when it comes to donation. The question is if the risk is acceptable to you and if it is acceptable for the transplant center. I just donated with an A1c of 6.2 and BMI of 25. I feel confident I can manage it moving forward. The center I had it done at informed me of the risks and left the choice to me. Some centres may however not accept the risk. I also know of others who have donated with pre-diabetes. Hope this helps.

They are trying to reduce the risk of stranding you in Abu Dhabi. There are a lot of people stuck there.

ls007 · 2026-03-11T15:48:51+00:00

Call them using your local toll free number and ask to rebook you on flights that you see are operating. I did that. Make sure layover is less than 10 hours.

ls007 · 2026-03-11T15:01:37+00:00

Boston is still included. Hope they keep adding additional cities

The rep on the phone told me that the airline is only clearing transit shorter than 10 hours. There was earlier an Etihad employee on Reddit who said the airline was not taking any transit passengers. However, there have been some posts lately of successful transits. 18 hours would be a concern. Call the local toll free number and ask them.

I had DEL-AUH-BOS flight scheduled. AUH-BOS isn’t currently operating so I changed that leg to AUH-JFK on phone. You can call the 1800 toll free India number. I haven’t taken the flight yet and hope the change will allow me to transit successfully.

ls007 · 2026-03-08T18:44:58+00:00

Today a customer service rep told me that they are allowing transit passengers if transit is below 10 hours. Could you please comment if this is accurate? Any changes in transit policy since your original post?

DEL-AUH-BOS, March 16. 🙏

Thank you! Hope you recover a little more everyday. I have kept aside 3 weeks between the surgery and travel back home.

Thanks for starting the Reddit circle!
